4.Who left humanity behind:
Fain is the likely suspect. Though I did notice that strictly speaking the sentence only says that the creeper has left humanity behind. It does not say "one who has left _his_ humanity behind". So in theory this could be someone very human that is on a suicide mission to the blight with no intention of ever leaving the blight and returning back to "humanity", such as a male Aiel channeler who has yet to learn that saidin is clean. Or somesuch. Though in truth this is wordplay and Fain is the likely suspect, unless someone is trying to deliberately trick us.

If we assume that "left humanity" is just a general term, it could even be Rand trying to reach The Pit

Good to know, even though I'll probably skip it and wait for the full book. *NM*

My money's on Slayer or perhaps Moridin rather than Fain.

Left humanity behind... could be Fain, Slayer or Moridin I guess. *NM*

Graendal at one point considered herself "no longer merely human" or word to that effect *NM*

That would be a great easter egg as an ebook exclusive (leaving it out of the full printed release). *NM*

Is it just me, or does "Distinctions" rank as the flattest-sounding prologue title to date? *NM*

"Another" meaningless bloodbath? Aren't most people annoyed at the lack of such thus far? *NM*
